NiTROACTiVE Posted January 13, 2019 I noticed that Doom Builder 2 hasn't been updated since June 1, 2012, but the website for it is still up. I've used Doom Builder 2 since 2011, and I remember working on my first Doom WAD with it. With all of these forks such as Doom Builder X and GZDoom Builder, I wonder what the future of DB2 will be. I also notice that @CodeImp is still active on these forums, so I wonder what they would say on this matter. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dark Pulse Posted January 13, 2019 Quite dead. Its successors are DBX (as mentioned) and GZDoom Builder Bugfix (which itself is a fork of GZDoom Builder, which was forked off Doom Builder 2). 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted January 13, 2019 CodeImp reappeared recently, yeah; but that was after a five-year leave of absence. 1 Share this post Link to post

I don't read everything unless tagged, actually pretty much only that. DB2 development is indeed discontinued. If I wanted to work on it, I would probably rewrite it again because I would (again) design the internal workings completely different. But this time there wouldn't be any significant new features from a user perspective, so it's not worth it. The forks are doing a good job of adding the sourceport-specific features (and also cluttering the user interface a lot) so everyone is happy. 17 Share this post Link to post
